The Champion of Children: The Story of Janusz Korczak

40 pp. | Farrar/Foster | September, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-0-374-34136-7 $17.99
(1) 4-6 With simple, unadorned prose thoughtfully positioned within the soft acrylic illustrations that fill the pages, Bogacki describes the life of Korczak, a tireless advocate for children's rights. The book ends with Korczak's deportation to Treblinka with his orphans, and while the pictures are honest in depicting even this journey to the death camps, their gentleness inspires empathy rather than horror.
